It’s Sunday.... can only mean 1 thing... ROAST!! I’m actually off to a bbq today, but I wanted to share my secret to THE crunchiest fluffiest roast potatoes, it’s took me years and a lot of poor turn outs but now I have them nailed!! Tip 1
I have the best roasting tin (pic 2) it’s a little pricey but totally worth it, the metal ring underneath lets you keep it on a job whilst you put the potatoes in... you don’t lose any heat when you take it from the oven.. the fat stays boiling hot!! It’s soooo easy to clean and will last forever... put it on your Christmas list available @johnlewisandpartners
Tip 2, I came across corn oil by mistake, we were cooking at my mother in laws @acorn59 and she eats the most fantastic healthy food, her fridge is like something from a tropical country but we were cooking a roast... no veg or sunflower oil in sight... BUT she did have a bottle of corn oil that she never used.. because we were too busy enjoying our 2 glass of champagne we couldn’t drive to the shops so we went ahead and used it....... Well I will never look back, I don’t know what the difference is but every single time without fail they have the most golden crunchy outside!! Pair these with perfectly boiled potatoes and some lovely @maldonsalt and this is the result! .

CHOCOLATE SOUFFLÉ
I adopted this recipe by the talented Ronny Venecia @ronnieveneziacake. This one is a winner for 2 main reasons: 1. Incredibly easy to make 2. Very rich chocolaty taste. And it also looks very impressive, but that is a bonus !
⠀
👉You will need for 6 soufflés:
🍫200 gr of bittersweet chocolate (60% coca solids)
🍫100 gr butter
🍫2 eggs
🍫2 yolks
🍫1/2 cup sugar
🍫2/3 cup flour
⠀
👉How to make:
Melt the chocolate with the butter (you can do it the fancy style over a pot with boiling water, but I just pop it into the microwave). In another bowl whip up the egg + the yolks with the sugar until the mass is light and airy. Add the melted yumminess inside (check that its not too hot so the eggs will not cook). Stir inn the flour and ... you're DONE!! Amazing right?? Bake at 180°C 12-14 min. Now this part is important, so listen up - every oven is different, so the baking time is going to be different.
⠀
👉How will you know it's done? It should be soft and bubbly in the center if you wiggle it a bit. The gooey finish is what makes the soufflé' unique so PLEASE do not over bake it. It would be still yummy rich Mississippi cake but it will no longer be a soufflé'. You can bake one to find out how much baking time you need and then pop the rest in.
⠀
Have you ever made a soufflé before?

Another “what to do with these random ingredients” dinners...had #broccoli and a #ciabatta so a search led me to @tarateaspoon ’s recipe for Roasted Broccoli Melt! 🥦 I had shredded frozen cheese (see tip below), so I thought...PERFECT!! The addition of briny kalamatas and lemon zest 🍋 MADE this dish! And while we’re on the subject of cheese...pre-shredded cheese is such a convenience, right?! But sometimes I just can’t get over the cost difference between that and the blocks you shred yourself. One way to make up a bit of the difference is to buy in bulk, but who can use up all that cheese before it goes bad? But did you know that shredded cheese (hard or semi-hard) freezes BEAUTIFULLY?! So with a HUGE bag of #mozzarella I just bought, I simply divided the bag into individual baggies for an easy “grab” from the freezer. One medium pizza uses about 1 cup of mozzarella, about 150g. I put all my baggies in a labeled basket and voila! Hope you can use this tip!

It was a pleasure of mine to host Sarah’s 11th Cooking Birthday Bash in my kitchen! The girls had a fun time baking chicken alfredo pasta bake, and Vanilla Cupcakes! They looked adorable in their cute aprons and chef hats! Felt lucky to work with such an awesome group of girls! 🎊🎊🎂😍🥳

Paleo Shrimp Pad Thai 🍤 🍜 🔥

This was pretty damn fuego my friends! I sautéed up some sliced carrot and shallot in some Avocado oil then removed from pan then seared off my shrimp in some avocado oil and butter with some minced Thai chili for 2 min then removed from pan. I added in 3 beaten @vitalfarms eggs then mixed up and once almost cooked, I added everything back to the pan and threw in 2 packages of @skinnypastausa Shirataki Noodles and mixed up and cooked for a few min.
-
I then poured my sauce in which consisted of 1 tbsp tamarind paste, 2 tbsp @bigtreefarmsbali Coconut Aminos, juice of half a lime, 1 1/2 tbsp @bigtreefarmsbali coconut nectar, and 1 tbsp of fish sauce. I mixed everything up and let it hang out for a bit then plated. Topped with some green onion and crushed cashew!
